Lost in translation

Closed captioning of CNN goes where no lefty hater of this blog has yet gone before (via email from a "Best of the Web" reader):

I was watching CNN today (forced to, waiting at the Detroit airport and couldn't switch channels). They had a show about the blogosphere--seemed like maybe it was a weekly or daily show (I don't have cable, so I don't know). Anyhow, they were talking about what the blogosphere was talking about this week, and said that the WTC memorial was a hot topic, and that (paraphrasing), "...it was on the Power Line, and Arthur Chrenkoff..." Well, they had closed captioning on and the latter reference was transcribed "Arthur Crank Cough"!! Somebody's a little out of touch, wouldn't you say?

The show in question might be "Inside the Blogs"; closed captioning might be provided by Satan.
